Commissioned for The Savoy hotel over a century ago and handcrafted in London to this day, our No2 bed exemplifies the defining characteristics of Savoir: heritage, bespoke production and quality.

Its comfort and durability are the stuff of legend, and its styling options infinite. Which is why it takes at least 80 hours to create.

Perhaps you long for a mattress that offers different support for you and your partner, or zoned spring tension for different areas of your body to ensure your spine is properly aligned at night. Maybe you require drawers, or need a bed to fit an existing frame or a tapered space in a superyacht. Whatever the brief, our No 2 bed can be tailored to fit you and your life as perfectly as a made-to-measure suit. Johnny, one of the craftsmen at our London works, recently created a round version of this classic bed for a famous singer: ‘It was satisfying,’ he recalls, ‘but a real challenge to get a smooth hair roll around the edge of the base because of the curve.’

The construction of the sumptuous No 2 is similar to that of the No 1 – complete with double-stitched 3” hair roll on the base – though in this case the frame is of Grade 1 pine, both screwed and glued for durability, with slightly shallower hourglass springs. Our Trellis ticking, designed in 1905 by Lady D’Oyly Carte, is always cut so precisely that the jacquard pattern repeat is exactly symmetrical.

Our uniquely skilled bed-makers bring a degree of pride and rigour to their work that is all too rare in this age of mass production. One of their most difficult tasks, star-lashing, involves hand-tying the base springs to each other and to the frame at exactly the right tension in a radial pattern. This technique – using a traditional oiled-flax cord endorsed by archers at the Battle of Agincourt – is not only extremely strong but also allows each spring to move as independently as possible. The slightest error in tension and the shape and comfort of the bed would be compromised. At Savoir, accuracy is all.

Mattress: The Savoir No2 mattress is filled with extra-deep, high-turn pocket springs, masses of loose, curled horse tail hair and layers of carded lambswool. The mattress is designed to support your body, allowing your spine to lie in correct alignment. The fullings are entirely natural and designed to create the perfect, safe sleeping environment.

- Hand-tied, 7.5-turn pocket springs

- Masses of hand-laid, long, loose horse tail, with cotton and wool

- Hand-slipped piped closure and hand-side-stitching

Topper:
The original Savoir topper, mountains of long, loose, hand teasing horse tail are wrapped in soft lambswool and tufted into our trademark Trellis ticking, with gorgeous results. The HW Topper helps to achieve a better sleeping position with the feet slightly elevated; this aids blood circulation, which in turn improves the quality of sleep.

Boxspring: The No2 boxspring is complete with a double-stitched 3” hair roll with a frame of Grade 1 pine, both screwed and glued for durability. The hourglass springs are star-lashed, involving hand-tying the springs to each other and to the frame at exactly the right tension in a radial pattern. This technique – using a traditional oiled-flax cord endorsed by archers at the Battle of Agincourt – is not only extremely strong, but also allows each spring to move as independently as possible. The slightest error in tension and the shape and comfort of the bed would be compromised.
